The lavish Florence is very lonely. Singing is the meaning of her life, and she also used her financial resources to construct a musical social circle. In the French version, everyone laughed at her; in the American version, some women with bad ears seemed to have a sincere friendship with her.
Lonely Florence yearns for love. In the French version, the husband had no sparks for her, and instead caught up with friends who were sponsored by her, and showed more pity to her. In the American version, her husband gave her a lot of love and seemed to really care about her, but he always felt that he was for inheritance.
The French version of Marguerite rarely has a husband to accompany her. Instead, she spoils her with her music preferences and is the housekeeper, serving her and protecting her, making her happy. But the atmosphere of the US version of Florence alone is stronger.
This lady who was born lacking in sound and loved the singing of a flowery soprano, died of illness one month after her first grand public performance. Melie Streep's singing voice is good at first. In the American version, she insists on singing badly, but she can't live up to her talent. In the return, she still believes that her singing is very beautiful. The French version of Catherine Flo doesn't know how to sing, and she feels more sincere in her out-of-tune.
